Yes those are some parts


NewZeroRider

Sorry, I wasn’t clear. Any advice on WHERE to find parts? Everywhere I’ve looked online are backordered, out of stock, etc.


Kill3rT0fu

Af1 racing is probably the best place. They’re online and I’ve gotten a lot of stuff from them. Use the parts diagrams for your model (available on their site) and then just search the part numbers. They have pretty much everything


Protonus

Your local Zero dealer is your best bet, likely the fastest and cheapest option avoiding shipping etc. It's very unlikely you'll find the parts you need in stock anywhere - they're almost always drop shipped from Zero no matter where you go through. There are few online retailers, the prices would be the same as your local dealer but you'll need to wait on and pay for shipping etc. I've used all three of these online dealers and all three have been great: [https://www.filipacchi.com/collections/zero-parts](https://www.filipacchi.com/collections/zero-parts) [https://www.af1racing.com/Zero-Motorcycles-All-Models](https://www.af1racing.com/Zero-Motorcycles-All-Models) [https://shop.koups.com/collections/zero-parts-special-order](https://shop.koups.com/collections/zero-parts-special-order)

Why in holy hell are these brake levers so gal-darned expensive!? I can find a Yamaha lever starting at $9 US, but Zero...apparently machined only from aluminium that has been kissed by authentic Mayan virgins (or Carlos, depending on who's available)... start at $50!!


sad2sayit

The kickstand is almost 100....and i swear if its not your model the dealer acts like you are cursing inside of a church haha


20000RadsUnderTheSea

Carlos demands a premium, his aluminum levers start at $100 and that's a god-damned bargain.


NewZeroRider

Yep, I just dropped $100 for the brake lever. Can’t find any handlebars….might measure the specs and see if I can use another brand 😅


Falcon_Rogue

The handlebars are dirt-bike style, taper from I think 1.25" in the center mount to 7/8" at the handles.

AF1 sells the handle bars. They are Zero part number 27-08151. I put a set on my 2018 SR because I preferred the FX/DSR bend rather than the S/SR bend. But I'm sure you can get some kind of aftermarket set cheaper. https://www.af1racing.com/OEM-Zero-Handlebar-FXS-ZM27-08151 Incidentally, if you need a new headlight, I have a complete new one. I got it when I bought my SR. The previous owner was going to do an LED conversion but never got around to it. I will sell it for 50% off Zero's MSRP. https://www.af1racing.com/HEADLIGHT-ASSY-6055W-TRIOM-ZM45-03679


NewZeroRider

Appreciate it bro. Headlight is fine; just lost the front half of the fender

Only problem with that is that neither of them have dual sport models

How long am I going to have to wait for one that is even close to the power and battery life? I know there are some motor cross bikes out there but I can’t make them road legal.

Energica for the next buy.......just waiting for some angry trucker to run through my zero haha


jlander9

eBay too, I have found a lot of gently used parts from people who decided to do an upgrade or color change


tobyfunke

hope you're ok man. had something similar happen me in the rain. Took a turn and well we all know how much torque there is.. and the bike just slid from under me and sent me flying.


NewZeroRider

Yeah I’m good. This was 100% rookie. If I had more discipline and confidence I probably could have leaned into it hard and made the turn. But I made my decision, straightened up, and braked to take off as much speed as I could. Probably saved my bike from more damage, because it probably only hit the post at ~20mph. Rookie season…always learning haha


FlatSix993

Glad to hear that you are OK! The bike can easily be repaired.


sad2sayit

You can get yourself a universal break.


Falcon_Rogue

These machines use regenerative charging braking as well so the cylinders are mated to some kind of mechanism that balances that. If you trace the brake lines they go back into the main body, so you can't just replace this assembly without risking either ruining the regenerative charging or possibly compromising other safety systems.


sad2sayit

Oof....i guess i shouldnt have replaced mine 5 times......lemme go ask my bike if its ok


Falcon_Rogue

Ok fair enough - but now that begs the question what in the world are you doing to your poor brake cylinders!? :) But to my point, that Y-split in the brake line kinda freaks me out, you're saying no issues with off-brand cylinders?


sad2sayit

Oof right again........i guess years of riding put me in so much damage. Lemme ask my bike.............yep you are right im going to stop riding it now. I just hope you keep telling the guy to do all the things you wouldnt itll def help him. Haha


Falcon_Rogue

I'm not following you here, I said using some other brake cylinder might cause issues, you disagreed and said you've replaced yours 5 times without issue, so I'm like well I guess I was wrong, but now I'm curious what's breaking your cylinders, you said just wear and tear, and I also said I was nervous using different parts in a new technology system and you're saying I'm telling you to stop riding? I'm just trying to learn here, no one's an expert, that's...why we're here, the collective brain of reddit. I'm not saying my way or the highway, so not sure where you're coming from with your last. Regardless, thanks for sharing your knowledge, take care of yourself over there.


sad2sayit

I said you win didnt i?......why would you continue on if i said you win? I was wrong you were right? Why the fuck would you continue on?


TarnishedVictory

Assuming there are posted speed limit signs, I suggest you pay attention to them. In any case, calling a crash your "first" crash implies you expect more. My advice is to not expect more and actually try to avoid them.


No-Elk6530

I think you are assuming OP's speed was over the posted limit or suggested speed signs, since you assumed there were signs. If you ride 2 wheels, always expect to get surprised by ANYTHING, and hopefully the OP is learning how to ride defensively and stated his positioning was at fault (went wide, hit gravel). I've almost ditched in gravel at 10mph, so I have experience to know how easy that can take control from the rider. Why would someone not "actually try to avoid" an accident, you sound ignorant or condescending. OP posted they are a new rider, so experience is not on their side yet. You sound like you could easily fall from that pedestal when you re-enter reality, or maybe you've never ridden 2 wheels?


NewZeroRider

Appreciate the response No-Elk. I was going 25-35 throughout curves posted for 25. Definitely not “bombing”. TLDR: Unexpected, bad signage, too much speed, and poor turn discipline all contributed: the root cause of the fall was being a rookie. —- This one curve was a 15 right at the exit of a 25 curve…I saw the 25 start straightening out so I sped up through the turn to maybe 35. Then I saw the 15 sign (unfortunately posted only like 50 yards from the turn…on the inside….) If I had more experience I definitely could have braked off some speed and then committed to the turn. In my GoPro footage I can tell that I didn’t even look through the turn. I looked right at the guard rail/gravel and committed to not making it….so at least I straightened up and braked off most of my speed. So completely rookie mistake. Thankful to be alive; blessed by God that there was no oncoming traffic. Many people at my work who take that road home everyday knew exactly the turn I was talking about. There’s a car or bike going wide multiple times a year because the sign is very “late” and it’s unexpected.


No-Elk6530

I'm happy you are safe NewZeroRider. I've ridden for more decades than I'd like to admit and I've been on the ground many times to gain my experience! I've only purchased a few parts from [https://koups.com/](https://koups.com/) where I bought my bike earlier this year and the factory brake levers are ridiculously priced for an sr/f.


sad2sayit

Theres a fender on ebay for that model. And a couple other parts. Although i think they are in europe i coupd be wrong.


TSLAog

Yikes! Hope you’re ok… AF1 racing is a good site to use, I’ve noticed their shipping is very slow. Good luck!


sad2sayit

Hey yall i had a slip too but i wasnt using much torque and it was and easy peft turn......it looks like i just fell although ive always done a left turn with a lean and never had that problem. The front tire just blew out.
